Thought I'd mention, for me, my gps was not good stock. Both RC6 and 7. I removed the bob gps script from init.d and flashed Heathen's gps fix. Working great now. I also use KC1 as my modem.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Since im a flashing whore lol ..Can someone let me know a couple of things.

The steel blue theme, is it compatible with the newest build?

Now do i install the unthemed version if i wanted to flash that theme or any other ones?

Also you state DRAG-ONYX 2.06 -- is this is customized version of Onyx? Whats different?

Im happy with my current rom but as i said i like to flash new roms for the hell of it to see how they are! :-)
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
I can really only answer your 2nd question. You can flash a compatible theme right on top of Dragon (clear dalvik first). Create a revert first if the theme you are trying doesn't have one - just in case you want to go back or get in a bootloop.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I usually just do a full backup and restore through CWM if I have any weird issues with a theme. But Ill assume to create a revert is just replacing the framework file in the actual theme file?
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
no theme are currently compatible , you can see the changelogs form rc6 to rc7 , that is what you will lose .

creating a revert be easier just to create a nandroid back up
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Thanks! also the Drag-Onyx what features compared to existz Onyx
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
I think the only difference is the Dragon logo on the bootsplash for the kernel. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
exactly , that and , the current build out is 2.05 , drag-onyx is Onyx's latest nightly
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Once you try the dragon you might not be happy with your old rom, heh heh. At least that's what happened to me. I flash alot but keep coming back to the dragon.

Edited for swype cleverness.

[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Dag, I think this is the best and most complete build yet. Great job! I don't think I'll ever want a non-inverted theme again.
[Captivate Android Development] cal4877:
DAGr8 can you pleae pm me please
[Captivate Android Development] Ranulf WolfSage:
So I take it if I want to flash RC7 and also want to use Launcher Pro, I would have to deal with an unthemed version of Launcher Pro, since the themed version hasn't been updated for RC7 yet?
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
all themed apk are fine , in other words all apps attached in second post you can use its not aproblem , I was refering to the themes in the theme thread as well as the 'unthemed version'
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
Thank you sir !

how do you like the four tab lockscreen ? it really is my favorite by far ..

the ability to customize the dragon tab is just awesome :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Love the four tab lockscreen! I might theme the icons a bit. With the background I use, it's hard to tell what icon is what (especially in the mornings when I don't have my glasses on!)

Each release is just getting better and better. Can't wait to see what you'll have for us next build.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
yea , I had mixed feelings about the music controls and the tab them self but the idea is for them to look good on first boot with the lwp on after that youguys are on your own :D

on this note Ineed to port all the themes in the them thread now , anyone has an order of priority ?
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
Is that what its supposed to do? I can only get that top right tab to make my phone buzz 3 times and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
You need to configure it in lock screen settings. The dragon icon is a custom once that will launch whatever you pick... Or do the 3 beeps/reboot thing.

If you have music playing (non samsung music player) you will have controls for audio along with the 4 tabs.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Very cool...I love the idea of being able to swype straight to the phone. I'm kinda hooked on the Epic lockscreen because of how easy it is to use my thumb to open the phone...but I might just have to give that up for this. Great job!

Oh, and Perp, thanks for explaining...I had not looked in to it yet...just tried it and got the 3 vibes and reboot...now I know what to do to keep that from happening. :D

DAG, I found a visual issue in the calendar when setting the times up...it's blue on blue this time. ;) See attached pic.

**EDIT**

Just tried the Dragon tab with Google Voice....SWEET! I think I might just have a new lockscreen. Gonna have to explore the gestures thing too...man, you outdid yourself here!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I'm not sure why, but no matter what I do, I just can't get sustained good down and up stream speeds. I tried default kernel with JK4 and it was just bad. Paragon kernel and JK4 would either be awesome or terrible and bouncing between good and bad all the time. Tried the KB1 and got the same. I thought I had it figured out, but it just went back to crap again. I really like the performance of the ROM itself and the theme is killer, just need consistent good speeds from the modem. Any recommendations on combos (kernel/modem) that may help? I've made sure the band selection is correct so I know that isn't the issue. On my other cap, I get solid speeds on a different ROM, but I want Dragon as my daily, not just on my tester.
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
I used to be a JK4 user, but now I'm using KC1. Give that modem a try.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Will have to give that a try

What kernel are you using?

What kind of speeds are you getting also?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Steel Blue but with your boot ani.. the eyes aren't as kewl

Also, any chance of getting the Crysis theme on Dragon? That would be awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Stock kernel

I'm on Roger's but ran a couple speedtest and here's what i got

best: 3825kbps down 2083 up

worst: 1884 down 989 up

~avg: 2.3 mbps down 1.3 mbps up

I'm on wifi most of the time however. I just get slightly better GPS performance with KC1. Both have good sound quality, and probably same battery drain.

rc7 day 2 on current charge glitterballs v.5 steam kernel 800mhz -75mv acrss the board kc1 modem 71% battery left it's 2:00pm phone has been unplugged since 9:00am yesterday!
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:
1st question, did you have to apply the unfugu mod, or did you just flash right on top?

2nd: Did you use phone during this time? lol. Have you ever acheived such battery life before using GB V.5
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
i did make a couple phone calls but not more than an hour of talk time. also used pandora and lisened to some music files but mostly with the screen off.

i did flash unfugu and i see no loss of smoothness on dragon without fugu even before flashing the kernel. after you flash the lack of fugu will be offset by the fact that it enables hardware acceleration on the whole system not just the video player and browser. but you may want to wait till gb gets his stuff back together and brings his thread up to gpl compliance and releases the final version with voodoo sound 7 and probably other tweaks.

i do not believe the kernel is what makes the battery life that good. infact on rc6 there was a bit more battery usage with this kernel for some reason unknown to me as it was fine on rc5. but i prefer the steam recovery for the console and file manager built in. though the kernel has had data coruption on me with certain lagfix options or lack there of. definatly if you are interested in using it disable voodoo, steam doesn't have a non journaling ext4 option and will not work from voodoo, if your lagfix options show ext4nj for cache in cwm/ulk recovery then change it to ext4 or ext2. also dont stay on rfs i had problems with that too. instead go all ext4 including system maybe ext2 on cache or go all jfs including system again maybe ext2 on cache. dont use loop device, it may benchmark great with the ext2 loop device but you wont notice the difference and it can be more problems.

yes i have had battery life like this on andromeda and on a very old version of perception. also had nearly as good on jf7 with unhelpful kernel with gpu underclocked and standard clock on cpu. this si not to say that the results are typical but that there are exceptional roms and dragon is one of them among only a few that i have personal experience with. now with the past roms that were this good i could very well drain the battery down in a day but only with pretty heavy use of texting and browsing.
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:
Ok, Thanks for the info. Yes, my one concern was what was going on with GB and future releases. I saw the GPL post. All had me a little concerned about its future.
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Check your PM in a sec.

For DAG - 71082567LC063314H - The 4 tab lockscreen is just too awesome.

PS - I wish I keep everything in CAD - seems worthless to convert to USD then right back to CAD (plus our dollar is worth more!)
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
yeah the way i understand it is that under gpl any gpl sources you use must be posted and available for others to see. since it has samsung, google, and sources from supercurio he needs to produce them especially upon request. might get away with it if it is never requested but it's not good form. well since supercurio requested it be posted and gb hasn't complied yet it is a problem. as soon as he complies he will probably be able to post more work but from the impression i get he has a lot going on in his life right now. it may have been bad form to post about readahead and take the time for the explaination before he fixed his kernel thread. that may be the straw that broke the camels back.

hopefully he gets a cwm version together for people having trouble with steam and comes back to the board, he obviously knows his stuff. i dont want to miss out on what he can bring to this phone.
[Captivate Android Development] cal4877:

Love the look and feel of RC7 but it just wasn't stable for me. Constant freezes when switching from landscape to portrait, exiting the calendar, clock, etc. This was with no OC of UV on the dragon onix kernel. I refashed after clearing every thing and still the same problems. Tried switching kernels, went to Paragon 6 which has always been stable for me and still had the same issues. Phone was always rebooting after the 3 buzzes without even an error message. I flashed back to RC6.1 with the Paragon kernel and the KC1 modem and 0 issues for over a day now.

I'm not sure what is up on my phone as I see no one else posting with any issues like what I was experiencing. I'll try again later to see if I get the same problems. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:
Wow, shocked you have had that problem. Ive been good here, even with the Onyx Kernel, which I had been having issues with. Just curious, as im trying to put some info together (research) . what build date is your phone, and does it show a rev. number such as .4 or ? (under battery, on white sticker)
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
this sounds like you were using the 4tab lock without setting an application for it ??? try redownloading , as there shouldnt be any problems ...
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
Yep, I had random weirdness like that until I set the application. Still not sure its as snappy as Andromeda though. Going to give it a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
well I guess every phone is different , but on my part no 2.2 rom come close to a 2.2.1 rom ..

the way I see it my first baby (Andromeda) is the best 22 rom outthere, and its 2.2 so it can NOT be compared to my 2nd Baby (DRAGON) witch is the best 2.2.1 rom
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
DAG, you should put the custom tab to run lockscreen settings by default. Avoid a bunch of reboots and the user will be able to change it to whatever they want after.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Build 1007, rev. 0.4 I bought the phone in July.

@ DAGr8, I thought of the 4 tab thing too, I will see if that was the problem, there was no info at the time and I didn't think that would cause issues when not in the lock screen mode.

For the record I have had trouble with the Onix kernels including when it was Suckerpunch, don't know why but they haven't agreed with my phone no matter what rom I was running.

I'm doing fine right now on RC6.1 with Paragon 6 OC at 1200 Mhz and UVed -100 mV to -125 mV. I never even got the chance to OC or UV with RC7 on either kernel so I'm thinking that the 4 tab lockscreen app settings was somehow the issue.

Thanks for the info guys. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
Itried but as of now I didnt succeed .
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
Links are back up had took them don by mistake . :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Attached is a CWM zip of a stock phone.apk with letters on the dialer during a call. I did not create the images, I took them from another ROM, but I can't remember which one.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
all themes on first post of the theme threadhave been updated to RC7 .

Other themers have been sent info to update there own theme .
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Cool man, RC7 going for +12 hrs now, only one random reboot right in the beginning. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Well of course as soon as I post that I start getting reboots every time I switch from landscape to portrait, not running any over clocks or under volt. I don't get it as it was fine. This is exactly what was happening before on RC7, random reboots when switching from landscape to portrait.

This last time it rebooted itself 3 times before finally booting into the OS, no error messages neither. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
man I dont know what to tell you , your phone is giving up on you maybe ? hope not .. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
Nah, I saw the same thing. I was thinking it might be that kp5 doesn't like fugutweaks but that's only a guess. I'm back on my daily driver atm but can test this theory if you want. I'm sure tazman could give it a go and see if it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Mine's been rock stable. UV here too, but no oc
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
LOL, :p

I don't think so, 100% on RC6.1 with 1200 Mhz and -100 to -125 UV (Paragon 6 Kernel, Onix freezes) so I don't think it's the phone hardware anyway. Had no real issues until this. I'm not using the 4-tab but I did associate the lock settings with it. I'm still running the Dragon-Onix kernel, I'll try Paragon and see how it does this time. I've just never had any stability with Onix/Suckerpunch kernels even on different roms including Cog, Continium, Perception, etc.

That probably is something with my hardware come to think of it, maybe. Speedmod has always been good up to K13c I think. I know most of these are based off of Speedmod so...I'm at a loss. :cool:

Love the rom though DAGr8, great work! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I'm stable on all other releases of the dragon and many other roms as long as I'm not using certain kernels. Tired of flashing right now (lol, a flash junky saying that :rolleyes: ) and I have a ton of labs to do so I,m going to hold off for the moment. Besides, ever since the Dragon I keep coming back to it. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:
Which launcher you running? I had this hapen with one launcher, then swtiched back to my Tag Launcher, not happen since.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Launcher Pro Plus, v. 8.4.1, always have used LP since I got the phone. For the record, it did this once before I even switched to LP, of course that doesn't rule it out though. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Did you get reboots before running titanium backup?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Yes, made sure of that actually as I had already flashed RC7 several times earlier in the week. The only thing I did was restore my contacts from the sd card and log into google. It is much more stable than my first 2 attempts, just reboots randomly when the screen is switching from ls to portrait, Very strange. BTW, hasn't done it since my last post of it happening. :cool:

Thanks for all the help/input guys, I do appreciate it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:
Themes

Anyone had issues flashing themes on RC7?
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
ok just to clear things out you officially experienced phone reboooot going in landscape mode ? (more then once ie reproducable ?)

if so your the first one to confirm the bug , so please make sure its not somethign else before confirming . one person with a bug who knows whats causing it but 2 person able to reproduce thats a whole other ball game I have to look into

P.S I had a side project for a while (was bored ) hopefully gonna release on monday , but dont worry guys , DRAGON is still my main focus ...

[Captivate Android Development] cal4877:
Hey guys can I use rom manager to flash a rom
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Clockwork Mod is what rom manager uses for flashing but I think it's best if you boot into recovery and use the install zip from sd card, choose zip from sdcard and then browse to your file's location. Seems to be less issues doing that way.

It also depends on where your coming from, stock, rooted, older rom with different recovery mode, what type of lag fix are you running (if any), etc. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Ranulf WolfSage:
So I installed on Friday afternoon, and had four instances throughout the evening/night where the phone locked up with a black screen and wouldn't respond, just giving the forced close buzzes. After sitting that way for a minute or two, it would come back almost like it was booting back up, including scanning the media when the screen came back, but it was much quicker than a full boot.

I proceeded to setup voltage control to 1200MHz cap, 1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400 and 200. Also since then, I switched to the four tab lock screen, and assigned a function to the Dragon tab. Since then, not a single issue with it locking up.

Also, I was having issues getting the themed Launcher Pro to install because it wasn't signed. I did a Google search however, and found a batch file that would allow me to place any apk in the folder with it, and it would sign them for me so that I could install it locally on the phone or via adb. After running that, I was able to throw the file on the SD card and click it to install.

All in all, it runs fast and is more responsive than any other ROM I've ever tried. The GPS locks fast and precise, I even get locks in my living room, which I normally can never achieve there. I have some issues of course with gmail not showing text in messages due to the reverse theme, as well as a few different areas in the system as well, but those things aside it's running great! Keep up the good work DAGr8! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:

Hi, my Nick is Ranulf WolfSage, and I'm a n00b. <hangs head>

So I tried flashing the Swype form the second post on the first page to my RC7 install, and it hosed my swype, it no longer works. I don't know why I did it other than I thought that it was more updated than what came with the ROM. Needless to say, lesson learned. Is there anyone out there that has the original version of it that I can flash back? If not, what files do I need to try and put back from the ROM? I looked at the Swype zip and found the apk and the library file that need to replaced in the system directory, but what about the META_INF folder? Any help would be appreciated, I apologize for my n00bness... Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Grab swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so from the original and place it back it. Apk in system/apps

[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Hey DAGr8, just wanted you to know that I have pretty much isolated my reboots when going from landscape to portrait to a Launcher Pro Plus issue, v. 8.4.1. It has done it to me only twice with the paragon kernel, but really has issues with Onix for some reason. :confused:

Strange that it gave me no trouble on previous RCs (except with Onix every now and then) but threw a fit on RC7.

Anyway, thanks for all of the input, everyone, and I just wanted to let you know what I've found so far. :cool:
